Application (in terms of cabling infrastructure): The application layer is the OSI layer closest to the end user, which means both the OSI application layer and the user interact directly with the software application. When determining resource availability, the application layer must decide whether sufficient network or the requested communication exists.. (OSI_model#Layer_7:_application_layer) 2. Unshielded twisted-pair: UTP cable is a popular cable used in computer networking that consists of two shielded wires twisted around each other. In the image to the right, is an example of the different network cables you're likely to encounter. (/jargon/u/utpcable.htm) 3. Shielded Twisted-pair: Twisted Pair (STP) has a fine wire mesh surrounding the wires to protect the transmission; Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) does not. Shielded cable is used in older telephone networks, network, and data communications to reduce outside interference. In the picture to the right, is an example of what these cables look like inside. (jargon/t/twispair.htm) 4. Fiber-Optic cable: A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing. These...

...NT1310 Unit 7 Assignment 1: Crosstalk a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic fields of one telecommunication signal affecting a signal in an adjacent circuit Waveguides an electromagnetic feed line used in microwave communications, broadcasting, and radar installations FTTH is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses Simplex a communications mode in which only one signal is transmitted, and it always goes in the same direction Half-Duplex data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time. Full-Duplex data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, at the same time. 1. Photodiode a semiconductor diode that, when exposed to light, generates a potential difference or changes its electrical resistance Amplitude Modulation the transmission of data by varying the amplitude of the individual pulses in a regularly timed sequence of electrical or electromagnetic pulses. Analog Transmission a base carrier's alternating current frequency is modified in some way, such as by amplifying the strength of the signal or varying the frequency, in order to add information to the signal Digital Transmission the physical transfer of data over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel.

...ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE NT1310 Physical Networking GRADED ASSIGNMENTS ------------------------------------------------- Student Professional Experience Project NSA SPE Project 1 (to be completed by the end of NT1310): Install, Configure, Test, Maintain and/or Document the Worksite Local Area Network and Its Components Purpose The purpose of the Student Professional Experience (SPE) project is to provide you an opportunity for work experience in your field or in a related field to add to your résumé. You may have an opportunity to serve your community or work for a local employer for a project that will take between 20 and 30 hours. Project Logistics Career Services will identify an employer with needs in the following areas: Network related tasks (mostly confined to the LAN and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 environments) Students are expected to practice various skills discussed in all the technical courses in Quarters 1 through 3 of the NSA program at an employer’s site on network related tasks (more confined to the LAN and Microsoft Windows Networking with Server 2008 environments) that would involve installation, configuration, testing, maintenance and documentation of the worksite network and its components, and to properly document the technical information in all involved activities. Such documentation will be used as the source material for Items 2 and 3 defined in the Deliverables section of this document. Possible example projects could...

...Christopher A. Lee Sr. NT1310 Week 3 Assignment.Network Topology Paper Network topology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network.[1][2] Essentially, it is the topological[3] structure of a network, and may be depicted physically or logically. Physical topology refers to the placement of the network's various components, including device location and cable installation, while logical topology shows how data flows within a network, regardless of its physical design. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types may differ between two networks, yet their topologies may be identical. A good example is a local area network (LAN): Any given node in the LAN has one or more physical links to other devices in the network; graphically mapping these links results in a geometric shape that can be used to describe the physical topology of the network. Conversely, mapping the data flow between the components determines the logical topology of the network. Contents * 1 Topology * 1.1 Point-to-point * 1.2 Bus * 1.3 Star * 1.4 Ring * 1.5 Mesh * 1.6 Tree * 1.6.1 Advantages * 1.6.2 Disadvantages * 1.7 Hybrid * 1.8 Daisy chain * 2 Centralization * 3 Decentralization * 4 See also * 5 References * 6 External links Topology There are two basic categories of network topologies:[4] 1.
